Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product refers to 1 kg of polyurethane (CAS 9009-54-5) as flexible foam. Due to the added melamine it acts as a flame retardant. Since this flame retardant is nonhalogenated it is applied more and more frequently. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
